These 13 structures include a Usonian Faculty House, Wright’s largest water feature – the Water Dome – and the William H. Danforth Chapel.

The Center features the GEICO Gift Shop and is where daily guided tours begin and end. Be sure to add some shopping time to your schedule because you’ll want to spend some time looking through the store.
